I'm going to have to call Tech Support tonight, but does anyone here know of any issues with Bryce 4 (Mac) crashing when using Object Presets? I have a scene with a terrain (made into buildings), and 2 spaceships (.OBPs I got from the net). When I go to add a 3rd, or even sometimes just a second, or also sometimes just reposition the 2nd one, etc., Bryce locks up the machine tight! Have to use the power button to get out. This happens oftentimes by just clicking the triangle next to Create to even get into the presets menu. I'm using an iMac DV SE, 500 mHz, 256 meg of RAM, OS 9.04, and almost a gig of virtual memory. I've tried disabling exstentions, even down to OS 9.04 (Minimum, I think? Whatever is the lowest setting), and it makes no difference. I will say that the physical RAM is close to being used up when I go to add the 3rd object. Anyone run into a similiar problem? Thanks!
